Are You Drawn To The Dolls of Your Childhood?

Many long-time doll collectors believe that we are most drawn to the dolls of our childhood. For me, those dolls would be the dolls of the 1960s and early 1970s--Barbie, Tammy, Penny Brite, Dawn, Crissy, Liddle Kiddles and many others. If you didn't grow up in the 1960s, you may not have even heard of some of them, such as Penny Brite, a 9 inch child doll by Deluxe Reading. Adorable Penny represented a little girl of about 10 years old, and she had an entire world available for her, including outfits, classrooms, kitchens and beauty parlors. Find out more about Penny Brite in my Penny Brite Doll Profile.
